The delegation included politicians, entertainers, sports celebrities, businessman and trade union officials. The group came as part of a campaign to support the call by the African National Congress (ANC) to maintain sanctions and discourage the Bush Administration from concessions to the Pretoria government. The trip included a visit to the black townships of Soweto and Alexandra. Behind the three are Maxine Waters (in blue) and Arthur Ashe.
